2.1 Modes of heat transfer
The electrical engineering requires the knowledge of heat transfer for designing the
cooling system of motor, generator and transformers etc.
Modes of heat transfer
1) Conduction: In solid the heat energy transferred from one molecular to another
with conduction heat transfer via molecular lattice vibration and free electrons.
2) Convection: In fluid the heat energy is transferred with convection mode and it
is due to the movement of molecular.
3) Radiation: Heat energy due to emission of energy in the form of
electromagnetic waves by all bodies above 0 K temp. It does not required
medium, in fact most efficient in vacuum.

Convection heat transfer
The convection is mode of heat transfer in which heat transfer by two
mechanisms random molecular motion (diffusion) and energy transfer
by bulk or macroscopic motion of the fluid.
Convection heat transfer may takes place between solid and fluid or
between two fluids or inside a fluid.
2.3 Convection heat transfer
10
Types:
Natural Convection
In natural (or free) convection the flow of fluid in induced by buoyancy
forces, which arise from density different caused by temperature variation in
fluid.
The layer of fluid which is in immediate vicinity of the plate gets heated by
conduction. This will increase the temperature of that layer and its density
will decrease. So, due to buoyancy force it will try to move upward and mix
with cold fluid.
Force Convection
Heat transfer which takes place in moving fluid is called as forced
convection. In force convection the heat transfer rate is higher as compare to
natural convection.

2.4 Combine conduction and convection heat transfer
Above equation shows that if we decrease the outer radius π2, it decrease the
conductive resistance of wall(π πππ ), but increase convective resistance (π ππππ£).
The heat transfer from the pipe may increase or decrease, depending on which
effect dominates.
The variation of π with the outer radius of the insulation π2 is plotted in Fig.
The value of π2 at which π reaches a maximum is determined from the
requirement that π π ππ2 = 0 (zero slope).
Performing the differentiation and solving for π2 yields the critical radius of
insulation for a cylindrical body to be

2.4 Combine conduction and convection heat transfer
Fins and their application
We are interested to improve the heat dissipation from the surface of
motor, generator etc.
From Newtonβs law of πππππ£. = β π΄ ππ β ππ
So, it is possible to increase the heat dissipation (heat removal) by
increase in surface area or heat transfer co-efficient.
But h is constant and fix for air or according to fluid.
So, only way to increase the heat dissipation is to increase the surface area
by making extended surface or fins.
Cross sectional area of the extended surface which is called as profile of
fin may find in different form depending upon application.

2.5 Heat exchangers
Definition
A Heat Exchanger may be defined as a Mechanical device which transfer the
heat from hot fluid to cold fluid, with maximum rate, with minimum
investment and with running cost.
Energy Balance: Enthalpy lost by hot fluid = enthalpy gained by cold fluid
(Assume negligible heat losses to surroundings)
Example:-
Condenser, Evaporator,
Boilers, super heater and reheaters,
Regenerative Heat Exchanger
Radiators of automobiles,
Oil coolers of heat engine,
Evaporator and condenser of
refrigeration system ,
Water and air coolers or heaters
Application:
Power production, process,
chemical, food and manufacturing
industries,
Electronics,
Waste heat recovery,
Refrigeration and air conditioning,
Space applications.
22
2.5 Heat exchangers
Classification of Heat Exchangers
Recuperators / Regenerators
Recuperative: In these type of heat exchanger, the cold and hot fluid
simultaneously through the device and the heat is transferred through the wall
separating therm. (most commonly used)
Regenerative: In these type of heat exchanger, the hot and cold fluids
alternatively on the same surface. Thus same surface is subjected to periodic
heating and cooling.
Fig. 2.9 Recuperative and Regenerative
23
2.5 Heat exchangers
According to Heat transfer mechanism:
single phase and two phase
Heaters or Cooler (sensible heat changes)
Condensers
In condensers, The hot fluid condense
(Gas to Liquid) at constant temperature
whilst temperature of cold fluid
gradually increases from inlet to outlet.
The hot fluid reject latent heat which is
absorbed by the cold fluid.
In case of condenser of thermal power
plant, the hot fluid is steam and the cold
fluid is cooling water which is gaining
the heat and rejecting the heat in cooling
towers.
Fig. 2.10 Temperature distribution
for condenser
24
2.5 Heat exchangers
Evaporators
In evaporator cold fluid evaporates (Liquid
to Gas) at constant temperature whilst
temperature of hot fluid gradually
decreases from inlet to outlet.
In case of thermal power plants, the flue
gases (hot fluids) reject the heat and the
same is gain by the cold fluid (i.e. water) in
boilers.
In evaporator of refrigeration system, the
cold fluid (refrigerant) change its phase at
constant temperature by absorbing the heat
from hot fluid (air or water).
Fig. 2.10 Temperature distribution
for boiler (or evaporator)
25
2.5 Heat exchangers
According to Transfer process:
Direct contact (mixing of fluid): In this type of heat exchanger, the two fluids
at different temperatures are come and mixed with direct contact. Example:
cooling tower
Indirect contact (No mixing) : In this type of heat exchanger, the two fluids at
different temperatures are exchange heat without direct contact. Example:
shell and tube heat exchanger.
26
2.5 Heat exchangers
According to Flow arrangement:
Parallel flow/unidirectional flow:
The hot and cold fluids enter at
same end of the heat exchanger flow
through in same direction and leave
at other end. Since, low heat transfer
compare to counter flow generally
not used.
2.5 Heat exchangers
Counter flow/ Counter current heat
exchanger: The hot and cold fluid enter
at the opposite ends of heat exchanger
flow through in opposite direction and
leave at opposite ends.
Cross flow heat exchanger: The two
fluids flow at right angel to each other.
27
2.5 Heat exchangers
According to Geometry of construction;
Concentric tube type heat exchangers: It
is also called tubular or double pipe heat
exchanger.
Shell and tube type heat exchangers:
These are most commonly used for
heating, cooling, condensation or
evaporation where large heat transfer
required.
Fig. 2.13 Double pipe heat exchanger
Fig. 2.14 Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger28
2.5 Heat exchangers
Finned type: When an enhanced heat transfer rate is required, the
extended surfaces are used on one side of the heat exchanger.
Example: Liquid-Gas (Fins are always added on gas side)
Fig. 2.15 (a) Tube-Finned & (b) Plate -Finned plate heat exchanger29
2.5 Heat exchangers
Compact heat exchangers: These are special class of heat exchangers in
which the heat transfer surface area per unit volume is very large (>
700π2/π3)
Fig. 2.16 Plate and Frame Heat Exchanger 30
2.5 Heat exchangers
Overall heat transfer co-efficient
A heat exchanger typically involves two flowing fluids separated by a solid
wall. Heat is first transferred from the hot fluid to the wall by convection,
through the wall by conduction, and from the wall to the cold fluid again by
convection. Any radiation effects are usually included in the convection heat
transfer coefficients.
The thermal resistance network associated with this heat transfer process
involves two convection and one conduction resistances, as shown in Fig.
Here the subscripts i and o represent the inner and outer surfaces of the inner
tube.

In the analysis of heat exchangers, it is
convenient to combine all the thermal
resistances in the path of heat flow from the
hot fluid to the cold one into a single
resistance R, and to express the rate of heat
transfer between the two fluids as,

2.6 Radiation heat transfer
Radiation heat transfer: βThe transfer of heat across a system boundary by
means of electro-magnetic waves which is caused solely by a temperature
difference.β
Does not required medium and occurs most effectively in vacuum and occurs
above 0 K temperature.
Radiation heat transfer occurs by electro-magnetic waves or quanta of energy
called photons.
The photons are propagated through space as ray (trance with light speed)
which unchanged frequency.
Spectrum of electro-magnetic radiation contain Ξ³-ray, X-ray, UV, Infra-red,
thermal radiation (Include Visible), and micro waves etc.
Out of all above radiation only thermal radiation (Ξ»=10β1ππ π‘π 102ππ) is of
our interest.
Example: Solar, electric bulb, furnaces, nuclear explosions etc.
